1 Some one is called by the Lord,
Called to proclaim His great word;
Called now to tell of His wonderful grace,
How on the cross He once died in our place;
Called to be filled with the pow’r from on high,
Is it I? Is it I?

2 Some one is called now to go,
Out in the mist of life’s woe;
Out now to save those who wander from home,
Out just to bid them to Jesus now come;
Called to be filled with the pow’r from on high,
Is it I? Is it I?

3 Some one is called to be true,
God’s holy will now to do;
Called now to count earthly glory but dross,
Called every talent to lay at the cross;
There to be filled with the pow’r from on high,
Is it I? Is it I?
